Dear GIF News reader,

    Sorry for the week and a half delay of the release of this
issue.  Things got really tied up around here.

          GN9109-1.GIF     --- Page 1
          GN9109-2.GIF     --- Page 2
          GN9109-3.GIF     --- Page 3

          GIFNEWS.ADS      --- How to advertise in GIF News
          SNDCARDS.TXT     --- Adlib Gold Vs. Sound Blaster Pro detailed
                               comparison

    Thanks for taking the time to download this issue of GIF
News.  I really hope you like it.  In this issue, you will
find articles on: SoundBlaster Pro Vs. AdLib Gold, Communication
news, rising prices of computer games, winners of the first
GIF News contest, and more.

    Again, GIF News can be freely copied and shared just as
long as no modifications what-so-ever are made to this
archive.  If you enjoyed reading the past 6 or so issues of
GIF News, please consider a small donation of $5 to cover my
cost of uploading GIF News long distance to BBS's across the
country.  Or instead, please upload GIF News to a couple of
your favorite boards.  Any bit of distribution helps.

    Free advertising continues...read GIFNEWS.ADS for more
details.  Also, interested in megs of TrakBlaster .MOD files
without the cost of downloading them long distance? Read the
file GN-DISKS.TXT for an offer you can't refuse.

    Special note to Internet readers:  If you would like to
be a GIF News subscriber, just send me E-mail and I'll add you
to the mailing list.  GIF News will be uuencoded and sent to
you via E-mail.  Many uudecoders exist for both unix and ms-dos
platforms.  If you can't unzip on your machine, let me know and
I'll send up the file in an LZH archive or a ZOO archive.
    Also, if you're anonymously FTP'ing, and come across some
files you think might be GIF News.  You can easily tell which   
issue is up by looking at the filename.  For example, you see:
    gn91-09.zip  <-- The gn stands for GIF News, the 91 re-
                     presents the year, and the 09 is the
                     month (September in this case).
So be sure to look for gn91-11.zip come November.

    I am happy to receive any comments or suggestions.
Please send them to any of the addresses below.

                            Thanks for your support,
                            Eric Hsiao
                            Editor-in-chief of GIF News
